“…We do not want false hopes, delusions, self-deceptions, and unrealistic dreams. We want hope built on a firm foundation. We want hope that is true. We want hope that sustains us. We want hope that lives in us. We want hope to make a difference in our lives and in the world. We want hope seen to be true to lead us to the greatest hope that will come. This is the theological gift an interim brings to people in the congregation.”
– an excerpt from the book
Author Reputation Press is honored to publish “Freedom and Interim Ministry: 12 Freedoms of the Interim” by John Helgeson. While putting this book together, the author discovered that by considering interim freedoms, he has also explored ministry from an interim’s perspective (how an interim sees ministry). The freedoms of an interim have a lot to say about ministry in general and installed or regular ministries (in particular). The book is now available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and the ARP website.
John Helgeson, the author, is an ordained pastor who has served interim positions in Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio, and Illinois, as well as installed positions in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. He has presented portions of this book to interim colleagues and the Interim Ministry Network’s annual conference.
He has been an interim minister and what is called a “regular, installed minister.” Without a doubt in his mind, he believes that the interim minister has much more freedom than a regular, installed minister. In “Freedom and Interim Ministry: 12 Freedoms of the Interim”, he shows how the interim minister has more freedom than a regular minister.
